A few..like the electrical stuff, sometimes a tap or something like that (not a huge DIY person but can manage most things around the house)
I have a few light fixtures/bulbs to replace though..
Do you need anything fixed in your house right now?
Nothing to fix, but some painting to do after a major kitchen remodel.
When was the last time you actually attended a racing or rally event?
2004 :dozey:
F1 finally came to my country but I got tangled up in real life (can't complain though) and now that race is off. I do plan on attending some race/rally in the future though. so its all tv watching at the moment.
Will you be attending any live sports in the near future?
Yes I will be heading to Brands Hatch towards the end of the season for BTCC round probably and maybe a Truck Racing day too.
Are you going out and about this weekend?
No. Maybe I'll go out for the weekly shopping but I can't go anywhere else.
When was the last time you cooked something and what was that?
The missus does most of the cooking in the schmenke household :mark: .
My cullinary exploits are generally limited do the backyard BBQing. Grilled up some blue cheese stuffed burgers a couple of days ago :facelick: .
Are you a picky eater?
Have to Google for picky eater.....:p
And YES I am, I would never eat chicken (except from schnitzel of chicken chest ), or vegetables cooked together with chicken, or the soup with chicken. Even the smell of chicken makes me sick

What do you think can be done to protect endangered species?
Steve, at the interview be yourself, build on your strengths and tell them about them, remember they only have limited time so the more time you can spend telling them good things about yourself the better. Good luck!
Thanks D Type.Quote:

I quite like the corridors they are creating across South/Central Asia in order for many animals to move about. Rather than be stuck in pockets isolated.
Other than that its education and support to those who are causing the most damage I guess, with tough penalties if you are found poaching or breaking international law.
Which endangered species do you fear most for(that its possible to answer about)?
Hectors and Maui dolphins around NZ. Both species populations are sliding towards unsustainable, and commercial fishermen would rather rape the sea for their catches than help take measures to protect them. In the case of the Hector there are thought to be only 50-60 adults left. If something isn't done soon they will disappear in the next 10 years.
Is it right that commercial considerations i.e. money should trump preservation - are we more important than nature?
There should be a balance struck there without going to either extreme. Those who rape nature for profit should remember the story about the golden goose. Harvesting is fine, but what do they think they will do for a living when all the prey is gone?
If it was possible, would you consider living on another planet? A terraformed Mars perhaps.
Not for me. I'm too insecure to start things from zero.
What's the thing you've ever lost that made you very very very sad?
My mind!! or seriously, I lost my girlfriend to a drunk driver in a road crash a few years ago, and nothing will ever be worse than that.
Do you tend to dwell on bad things that have happened or, do you pick yourself up and move on?
I'd like to say I pick myself up and move on, but I do sometimes dwell on things.
What's your earliest memory, including how old you may have been?
I woke up this morning! :)
Or even earlier, playing in the snow at home near Liverpool. I would have been about 4. I would like to say England winning the world cup, but that was a month before I was let loose on an unsuspecting world.
It is said that "It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." What do you think, and was Alfred Lord Tennyson mad when he wrote it?
Alfred Lord Tennyson was quite mad, but it had nothing to do with love. Never to have loved is safer, but not nearly as much fun. What's life without the ups and downs?
What would you like for your next birthday?
A bottle of Calvin Klein's Euphoria perfume, an expensive bag, a shirt, an expensive watch and many other such wonderful things that I never get.
How much time do you spend on Facebook?
About 20 minutes a year.
Have you ever wished you were a professional athlete or actor/ess?
Yes, who doesn't?
What after shave do you use?
( in case you're a man :p)
Not everytime, but when I do it is usually Old Spice
Do you read a newspaper everyday? (a real paper)
no. i regularly pick up the free np from the subway but never get to read it. Forget about them in my bag for days and then use them to pack litter. Used to buy a tabloid on Fridays for tv programme for my mum. Now it's not the case anymore. I don't read newspapers online either. I'm head in the clouds.
Where have you spent your last holiday?
My last Holiday was Scotland in the highlands. I have been there quite a few times now.
More recently I had two mini holidays, 3 days in Leicestershire visiting a heritage steam railway (you'd have loved that Gadjo ;)) and also a 3 day trip to Silverstone for F1 testing a few weeks back.
When ever you are next able to, where will your next break/holiday be?
That's a tough Q. I dream of visiting Europe but always end up in small villages like 2 Mai or Provita.
The recent event in my life made me reconsider the money problem. I mean I'd be ready to spend enough just for a few days far away from home.
Anyway, at this moment it's very frustrating to see all my coworkers going on holiday and coming back relaxed , happy and sporting a healthy tan. This year I will not get to see the sea so I consider it a(nother) lost year of my life.
Have you ever gone to work dressed in short trousers?
